Ex baseball player on trial

Sides differ over whether suspect knew about drugs

No one disagrees that the state police found 420 pounds of marijuana in a truck driven by Gilberto Reyes in December 2007.

But the defense and the state part ways when it comes to whether Reyes, a Dominican Republic native, knew about the drugs.

Monday was the first day of Reyes’ jury trial in state District Court for a charge of distribution of drugs.

Reyes is a former professional baseball player who has been in the San Miguel County jail for 14 months awaiting trial. He couldn’t make bail.
